Abstract: PURPOSE: To realize high rate reading by providing a reference cell with additional current branches including a parallel transistor(TR) thereby setting the ratio between cell current and reference current higher at the time of equivalent step than at the time of evaluation step. CONSTITUTION: Bit line 5 and reference line 11 of a read circuit 1 are precharged with precharge circuits 4, 10 before an equivalent step and following evaluation step are carried out and the content stored in a cell 6 is read out through a sense amplifier 17. This circuit 1 is additionally provided with a current branch 31 comprising additional current TR 43, TR 44 having one end grounded through a line 11 and the other end grounded through a switching transistor 44 and the ratio between cell current and reference current on the lines 5, 11 is set higher at the time of equivalent step than at the time of evaluation step. Consequently, the current of a load means 8 is controlled quickly at the time of evaluation step and high rate reading is realized.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a timer which can be constituted by a slow element excellent in noise characteristics. CONSTITUTION: This embodiment is a nonvolatile memory 100 comprising a data amplifier 106 and an output element 108 connecting with each other via a connection line 107. A noise suppression circuit 1 comprises networks 8, 18 for generating a noise suppression signal N which is synchronized completely with a signal L for controlling a data loading from the amplifier 106 to the output device 108. A very short lasting time period same as a switch time period of the output device 108 is given, and when the output device 108 is switched, the amplifier 106 is frozen, and data stored in the amplifier or an internal circuit of the memory 100 cannot be changed. An address amplifier 102 on address buses 101, 103 is blockaded according to the same signal.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To supply large power in the case that an input/output voltage ratio is low or a power supply voltage is low by mutually connecting in parallel pull-up stages between a reference potential line and an output line. CONSTITUTION: This charge pump circuit 1 is provided with numerous stages 21 -2n connected in parallel to each other between the reference potential line 3 and the output line 4, the respective stages 21 -2n are provided with bootstrap capacitors 51 -5n , the one side is connected to nodes 71 -7n and the other terminals are connected to nodes 61 -6n . Then, when inverters 121 -12n are switched, the odd-numbered stages 21 , 23 ,... are switched to a charge transfer mode, the even- numbered stages are switched to a charging mode. When a switching edge reaches a stage 2n-1 which is one next to the last, an AND circuit 15 and a NOR circuit 16 are switched, shifting along the inverters 121 -12n is performed, the odd-numbered stages 21 , 23 ,... are charged, and the even-numbered stages 22 , 24 ,... transfer the stored charges. As a result, even in the case that an input voltage ratio is low, voltage is efficiently boosted and a large power is supplied.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To set a timing accurately while suppressing noise by loading a simulate signal to an output simulation circuit through a switch subjected to required control and resetting a simulate generation circuit in response to the variation of simulate signal. CONSTITUTION: Upon provision of a sync signal SYNC, a simulate signal SP is generated from the simulate signal generator 34 of delay FF and a load block signal SS makes a transition to L through a switch 35 opened by a load enable signal L before being loaded to an unblocked output simulation circuit 21. When the signal SP is inverted to 'L', output is inverted to H through a NAND gate 30 and an inverter 32 and the generator 34 is reset instantaneously through a monostable multivibrator 33. On the other hand, a signal SS is inverted to H and loading to the circuit 21 is blocked. According to the circuitry, loading of signal and blocking of loading are controlled accurately and the effect of noise due to housing is suppressed.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide an integrated circuit for checking the use rate of a redundant memory element inside a semiconductor memory device. CONSTITUTION: A redundant circuit is provided with a programmable nonvolatile memory register 1 for respectively storing the addresses of defective memory elements. When the stored address is coincident with supplied address signals A0-An, a redundant select signal RS is generated. Besides, the signals A0-A1 are supplied to combined circuit means 3 and 9 of the redundant circuit and when a suppress signal DIS' is supplied to the register 1 and the signals A0-An are coincident with the addresses stored in the non-programmed register 1, the generation of the redundant select signal RS is suppressed. When a control signal CHKN is activated, a multiplexer circuit means 11 under the control of the signal CHKN transmits the signal RS to and output pad 17 and when the generation of the signal DIS' is activated, the signal CHKN disturbs that generation.
